Cronus was castrated by Uranus. The parts where then thrown in the sea and Aphrodite was born from the sea. She was then carried to shore by a shell. Her name means "foam-risen" since she was born from the sea. Nymphs, the sea, dressed aphrodite since she had been in the sea and just born. As you can see, Aphrodite had a strange birth but it is unique in it's own way.
